HAVIN'Q one week's vacation be
fore them and looking for
something new in the line of
sport and adventure, John Edwin
Hosrg- and Phillip Johnston - of Los
AnReles recently conceived the novel
Idea of eoinir on a combination
motorcycle-seaplane wild goat hunt
ing trip to San Clemente island.
San Clemente island is one of the
Santa Barbara group of islands, ris
lng out of the Pacific ocean Just
about 60 miles from Los Angeles
harbor. The island is practically a
mountainous waste, and except for
few sheep camps, is devoid of human
Inhabitants. However, the place is
literally lnlested with wild goats that
owe their origin to several Castilian
Boats which were let loose on the
island around the year 1542 by Ca
brillo, a Spanish navigator who dis
covered the island.
Hogg and Johnston covered the
SO miles to San Clemente island with
seaplane that had been put at their
command, sending their motorcycles
na luggage over with a commercial
fishing outfit. It was after they
landed at Choke Berry cove and were
traveling the 24 miles inland to the
epot they had picked out for their
camp, that the two men found how
Invaluable their motorcycles were.
As Hogg said afterward, "no auto
mobile could have traversed this
route, but a motorcycle even with a
sidecar could get over it with ease
providing the rider didn't mind a few
grenerous bumps and riding around
eidehill grades on the edge of blood
curdling precipices.
Thick Cncll Encountered.
Traveling two miles up a wash and
lour miles along the top of a cactus
covered ridge, where in some places
tna cacti were so thick that a path
had to be smashed through with
clubs, were experiences that make
this particular nart of thpir rnit.
hunting trlD unforcetahle. TTncir
drove a sidecar outfit, while John
Eton rode solo. .
While, according to one of the
sheepmen whose ranch wa located
Just about six miles from where
Hogg and Johnston had their camD-
lng site, there were all of lo.non nr
more goats on the island, the twn
men round tnat Koat huntinir wa
not the easiest thing in the world.
True, the goats were not hard to
find and were easy enouch to shoot.
but after two days of huntinir. Hon
iiu iis tujiiiiaiiiuii were wjuing to
admit that crawling up over cactus
covered boulders, through deep can
yons and down 600 to 1000 foot walls
that were almost perpendicular to
procure their victims, and then mak
ing the return trip carrying the car
casses on their backs for two or
three miles to the sidecars, was
sport that was pretty well offset by
the labor it entailed.
To rest up and vary the programme
the third day was spent fishing down
t the seashore. The fish' were found
to be so plentiful that they fairly
leaped at the hooks. Twenty min
utes after making the first cast they
caught all the fish they could hope
to eat before they would spoil. Most
of the fish were rock baas with an
occasional mackerel or sea perch. 1
ovrl I'lan Devlaed.
It was on the morning of the
fourth day that Hogg and Johnfcton
decided that hunting goats by
scrambling over rocks and boulders,
up ridges and crags, and through
canyons overgrown with cactus whose
pharp spines pierced the thickest
luntlng' clothing and made nasty
founds, was too tedious aad painful
a Job, and conceived the ideff of using
the seaplane Instead to hunt them
down. Hogg was to drive the plane
and Johnston to do the shooting.
Only ridges that a motorcycle could
be ridden up were to be picked out,
eo that when the "killing" had been
made they could go 4ack with the
plane to Choke Berry cove," take the
motorcycles and retrieve their game.
Just as they were about to carry
out this plan, Steve Holloway, an
aviator from Avalon on Santa Cat
lina island, came floating down with
his airplane. When he heard of their
plan he Immediately was Impressed
with the novelty of the sport and
volunteered to loan them his plane
and to do the driving so that both
would be free to shoot.
Less than ten minutes after leaving
Choke Berry cove a herd of about
100 goats, billies, nannies and kids
was sighted on the summit of a
mountain. Swooping down from a
height of about 1000 feet above them
to within 100 feet, Holloway made it
possible for Hogg and Johnston to
get their rifles to crackling before
he "flattened out" and swept upward.
Three goats were left laying on the
ridge. Within the next two hours
this performance was repeated sev
eral times. With eight goats to their

credit they decided they had enough
and returned to the cove. A few
hours later, after Jamming through
innumerable clumps of cacti that
would have been impassable by foot,
the goats were all brought to camp
w'th the motorcycles.
Altogether, their hunting expedi
tion netted them 16 goats, without
counting the four young kids they
killed to take home. The last three
days were spent in loafing and fish
ing. On the seventh day, after load
ing their motorcycles, luggage and
spoils on the same fishing boat they
had hired to bring them over, they
climbed into their seaplane and a
few hours later reached home. As
Hogg, himself, wrote, "thus ends the

wild goat hunt, the story of a
week on a practically uninhabited
island with a whole lifetime of thrills
and wholesome recreation crowded

BY ADDISON BENNETT.
NOVEMBER 6, 1921, waa an
epochal day in Josephine
county, for on that day the
great dam In the Rogue river, eight
miles below Grants Pass, at the Sav
age rapids, was dedicated and water
started in its mission through a por
tion of the distributing systems.
This dam is not of great height
or length, being about 25 feet high
and 400. feet long, but it was1 con
siderable of an engineering feat to
construct it for all that Many new
wrinkles and novel devices were re
sorted to by the project engineer in
charge. Jerome H. Fertig, to make it
the accessory which not only con
fines a sufficient head of water for
the purpose of irrigating the low
lands, but produces the power for
furnishing water to the uplands,
some of them 200 feet higher than the
dam. simply by the installation of
two turbine water . wheels, thus giv
ing a sufficiency of water to irrigate
about 16,000 acres of land on both
sides of the river. .
This dam is partly in Josephine and
partly In Jackson county, for at that
pojfit of the Rogue the stream flows
nearly west, and the line between the
two counties runs north and south,
and the dam bifurcates the county
line, the major portion being in Jack
son county.
System Belong to Farmers.
This irrigating system belongs to
the farmers and land owners of Jo
sephine county, who formed an irri
gation district, issued and sold bonds
and completed the work at a cost of
about a million and a quarter dollars.
Before the full 16.000 acres receives
water further work on canals will
have to be done, and the 'total cost
will amount to something more than
a million and a half, or, in round
numbers, 199 an acre, which is two
or three dollars below the cost of the
average large irrigating systems in
the country.
Josephine county was one of the
first parts of the state to resort to
the irrigating of lands, for 65 years
ago, in 1856, water was diverted from
Sucker creek, in the Illinois valley,
near the present town of Holland, for
Irrigation numoses. Yet Josephine
county is not what might be called
an arid county, and very frequently
mammoth crops are raised there
without artificial moisture. But the
precipitation there is uncertain and
does not always come at the proper
timo In h srrowinir season to supply
fthe moisture needed by the husband
man at the proper or critical time.
As Josephine county has grown in
population and its agricultural and
horticultural area extanxled, many
ditches for direct diversion of water
from streams and many pumping
plants have been put into operation
for watering the lands, until at the
present time afcout 40.000 acres hold
water rights; thus the present sys
tem will add 40 per cent to the irri
gated area.
In starting this article I thought I
would compare this latest Oregon
irrigating enterprise with others In
the state of about the same size, such
as the Ochoco project in Crook county.
the Tumalo project in Deschutes
countv (the state's white elephant),
the Hermlston. project, the lower
Umatilla (Irrigon) project and others.
But to do this I might say things dis
couraging. So I will nly say this:
For direct and positive business
ability, economy and speed, this
Grants Pass project stands) right up
In the fronfcrow, while for the posi
tive lasting qualities or permanency
of the project, and the engineering
features so skillfully carried out by
Mr. Fertig, I don't think the Grants
Pass people need fear the contrast of
their new project with any otner oi
like capacity in the United States.
Slgrn Gaina Attention.
Passing up or down the main street
in the beautiful city of Grants Pass
(and I have written more than once
for The Oregonian that looking from
Tokay heights at the north end of
this street down to the bridge over
the Rogue, a distance of more than
a mile, you have the finest street
view in Oregon) in going up or
down that atret now you pass under
a huge sign, electrically lighted at
night, reading, "Its the Climate.
That sign was placed there by John
Hampshire. What does it mean?
Let me tell you some of the things
it means. Or here, come with me to
the Grants Pass and Josephine bank
and we will look into a large show
window on' the Main street side. It
is the most artistically arranged win
dow for the display of field and or
chard products I ever saw. (I Insist

City la County Seat.
It is the county seat of Josephine
county, which Is bounded by Jaclf
son on the east, Douglas on the north,
Curry on the west and California on
the south. It was primarily a mining
and agricultural county, but of late
years the magnificent fruits, raised
there, part'cularly the grapes, have
given its horticulture a pre-eminence
not surpassed in the west. .
However, the future growth of the
county will depend somewhat on the
development of the wonderful timber
lesources and mining interests of the
county, and the quarries of building
stone, while the opening up of the
Josephine caves, lying a few miles
from the city, will give the county a
name world-wide, for these caves will
attract as many, possibly more, visi
tors than Crater lake.
I guess there is no county in Oregon
:n a more promising condition than
Josephine. Unemployment is a word
'most unknown to them, and poverty
is a condition of which they know
nothing. The land owners of the
county re, I feel sure, in better
financ'al condition than those of any
other part of Oregon, for the reason
that their resources are so varied.

Two Banks Are Flourishing
There are two banks in Grants
Pass. The oldest is the First Na
tional, which was the pioneer national
bank south of Eugene In this state.
The original bank was organized by
It, A. Booth, later bo well known as
senior member of the great Booth
Kelly company, and he was not only
a director but cashier, teller, book
keeper, messenger and Janitor. And
yet he had so much Idle time that he
took charge of the books for a plan
ing mill and box factory, which con
cern became the nucleus of the Booth
Kelly organization.
The First National has a capital
of $50,000, surplus and undivided
profits of 150,817.69 and deposits of
J839.S26.03. H. D. Norton is the presi
dent, L. B. Hall vice-president and
It. K. Hackett cashier.
The Grants Pass and Josephine
bank has a capital of $75,000, a sur
plus of $20,000 and undivided profits
of $11,418.01, with deposits of $713,
022.22. I. A. lioble is president,
leorge P. Jester vice-president and
Sam H. Baker cashier. (On the day
I got the above statements they were
60 days old, and were made by the
banks at the lowwater mark of the
vear. At the present time, the two
banks have combined deposits of
nearly $1,000,000 each.)
You will notice the name of the
president of the latter bank I. A.
Robie. He is an old-time citizen and
before he got at the head of a bank
he was known as "Happy Day" Robie,
being such a jovial fellow, but now
he is as sedate as one of the prize

politan in churarter. The same is
true of hotels. The best-known are
the Josephine and the Oxford, both
first-class houses in every respect
and both doing a good business.
There are two good newspapers
published in the city, the Grants Pass
Daily Courier and the Oregon Ob- 1
rerver. The Courier Is one of Ore
gon's best and cleanest daily sheets.
It is published every afternoon except
Sunday. A. E, Voorhles is the editor
and publisher. He founded the paper
11 years ago and has made a big suc
cess, having a fine, largo building and
a finely equipped ofllre. He recently
installed a now Gokr web press at an
expense of more than $10,000 and

The Observer is a weekly, and Is In

two are good neighbors.
I wish to go back for Just a mo
ment and say that the water users
uader tho Savage rapids system have
one great advantage over most of the
systems In Oregon, and that is that
they will, as a rule, have no drainage
problem to solve, for the reason that
their lands lie well above the Rogue
and Applegate rivers, along which
they are all situated, and they drain
naturally Into those streams. Under
some of the Oregon irrigation sys
tems the drainage will cost as much
as the water, or around $100 an acre.
The land owners in this new system,
or more than 90 per cent of them, will
entirely escape the drainage question.
